Suppression of anger is linked to subsequent pain intensity among chronic low back patients, but it is not clear whether anger regulation style (trait anger-out, anger-in) moderates these effects or if aroused anger accounts for links between anger regulation style and pain.
Chronic low back pain patients (N=58) were assigned to Suppression or No Suppression conditions for a task with harassing confederate and then underwent structured pain behavior procedures. Spielberger Anger Expression Inventory tapped trait anger-out (AOS) and anger-in (AIS).
Regressions tested Emotion Regulation condition × AOS and AIS effects on outcomes. AOS was related to grimacing and sighing for Suppression condition patients. AIS was related negatively to guarding and bracing for Suppression condition patients. Anger report partly mediated effects for AOS and AIS.
Anger regulation style moderated effects of state anger suppression on subsequent pain behaviors, effects that were partly explained by aroused anger.
在慢性下腰痛患者中，压抑愤怒与随后的疼痛强度有关，但目前尚不清楚愤怒调节方式（特质愤怒外化、愤怒内化）是否会调节这些影响，或者愤怒是否会引起愤怒调节方式与疼痛之间的联系。
将 58 名慢性下腰痛患者分配到抑制或不抑制与骚扰同谋者的任务中，然后进行结构化疼痛行为程序。斯皮尔伯格愤怒表达量表评估特质愤怒外化（AOS）和愤怒内化（AIS）。
回归检验情绪调节条件×AOS 和 AIS 对结果的影响。AOS 与抑制组患者的皱眉和叹气有关。AIS 与抑制组患者的保护和支撑呈负相关。愤怒报告部分解释了 AOS 和 AIS 的影响。
愤怒调节方式调节了状态愤怒抑制对随后疼痛行为的影响，这种影响部分是由愤怒引起的。
